The robotic has demonstrated its prowess within industries
and when critical missions, but remains less known by the population.
Beyond a set of bottlenecks related to the migrating to the latest technology, the fear of interoperability and lack
of compatibility among vendors, the demotic can play a determinant role when it
comes to democratize this technology.
Connectikpeople.co recalls that a mobile robot is an automatic machine that
is not fixed to one position. It is capable of moving in an environment for
which it is designed. It can function autonomously or can be remotely
controlled.
Mobile robots have been deployed in the Aerospace and Defense industry, and
progressively emerge within industrial and commercial applications.
According to Research and Markets, the growing use of mobile robots in
industrial and commercial applications is forcing vendors to invest more in
R&D so that they can fulfil the requirements of end-users.
''One of the main drivers in the market is the increased demand from the aging population. The aging population in countries such as Japan and China is driving the growing demand for mobile robots for applications such as cleaning, gardening, security, and surveillance''.
Apart from the Aerospace and Defense industry, these robots are being used
in industries such as Automotive, Warehouse, Healthcare, Energy, and
Agriculture and Mining.
